Just one day after President Obama tapped Vice President Joe Biden to lead an initiative on gun violence, Jon Adler was at its first meeting, along with Cabinet secretaries and organizations representing law enforcement.

Not much lead time, but no matter: Adler, national president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Assn., had a list of policy changes  from legislative to regulatory to "tactical" coordination  at the ready, with granular detail. He cited, chapter and verse, the law that makes it a misdemeanor to knowingly possess a firearm in a school zone. He wanted that upgraded to a felony.

No shortage exists of policy ideas to reduce gun violence. Law enforcement groups, gun-safety advocates and other organizations weighing in on the firearms debate have churned out policy prescriptions for years. Most of the time, the recommendations have simply gathered dust. Now, in light of the Connecticut school shooting, advocates hope some of their proposals may become law.

New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg released a statement with his policy wish list less than an hour after Obama announced the Biden-led talks. In addition to shoring up the criminal background check system and introducing laws to ban assault weapons and large-capacity magazines, Bloomberg detailed immediate actions the president could take. Among them: ordering all federal agencies to send records to the national gun background check database...

He cited, chapter and verse, the law that makes it a misdemeanor to knowingly possess a firearm in a school zone. He wanted that upgraded to a felony.

Because you just know that the loon planning to murder a bunch of little kids in the school will change his mind once he knows it's a felony to take the gun onto school grounds as opposed to a misdemeanor.

These people are either flaming idiots or they want school shootings to happen more often.

Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I’ve worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time.

They probably did have it pre-planned. Left over from Fast & Furious. Obama's gun program where he funneled all those AK47's to the Mexican drug cartels. Then allegedly to set back and wait for the numbers of the dead citizens on both sides of the boarder to mount up causing people to cry out for help. Then allegedly obama, the democrats, and the media would swoop in offering gun control as an answer to end all the carnage. Except the whistle blowers got the word out after our boarder guard was murdered and that put a monkey wrench in obama's plans.

"Public Outrage" was supposed to be the result of "Fast & Furious," but the details were leaked too early. So these are just the plans they just put aside until F&F blew over, knowing that the Ministry of Propaganda would hide the governments murderous acts in supplying firearms to the drug cartels.

(Do I really look like a guy with a plan?)

The purpose of the law is not to protect children, but to make it impossible for ordinary citizens to carry a gun in a regular way. 1,000 foot “school zones overlap in most cities and towns, making it impossible to move about without intersecting a “gun free school zone”. The law was ruled unconstitutional once, and should be repealed.

False flag, without a doubt. If the Socialistocrats could write the perfect scenario for generating MAXIMUM outrage at guns, gun owners and gun ownership, this was it. Too perfect, if you ask me, all the way down to the destroyed hard drive.. And one month before 0bama’s second term begins, no less. A second term where numerous pundits predicted an 0bama gun grab.. VIOLA!

The scripts are planned well in advance. The media is prepped with talking points. The lefty politicians are prepped. Their sympathizers are all prepped and ready to go when the signal is sent.

Their Sandy Hook shooting response had been ready to go for some time. The theater shooting was not good enough. They needed kids. Perfect! Right before Christmas!

Their Traybon shooting response had been ready to go for some time. They needed a white guy. Someone named Zimmerman was just perfect. Oops! Didn't really want the Hispanic guy they got. Someone messed up and now they're stuck with Zimmerman.

(Dick Obama is more inexperienced now than he was before he was elected.)

I have come to the conclusion there are no coincidences, none. This screwball was being coached or mind-controlled by the Soros gang. They failed at Fast and Furiious and they killed 20 innocent kids to push their Communist disarming agenda. It’s a means to an end, no God, no morals, no love of anything but unadulterated power.

Power to a Marxist is the only thing that matters, because no would ask to be poor, restricted in movement, no opportunity for a business and shoddy healthcare voluntarily.

These maggots adore Satan, and are using the Islamists as their soldiers along with their willing American and European Socialists/media who push the lie. Over and over. Gun control is to enable their long-term goals, not for safety, just the opposite.

I weep for those Newtown families. You can see that the Left has no conscience or soul, they will murder kids to gain power.

...the law that makes it a misdemeanor to knowingly possess a firearm in a school zone. He wanted that upgraded to a felony.

And of course that makes anyone driving past a school with signs "School Zone, speed limit 15 MPH" an automatic felon - or are we to trust they won't keep pushing the limits until we are helpless before them?

This area has no room for "compromise". The people we are dealing with are like Obozo "compromising" with Bonehead over the fiscal 'cliff" - they will accept nothing but total surrender and we must burn all the white flags...

"...But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

(High time to bring back The Sons of Liberty !!)

I will be one of the very first to point out that the folks pushing gun control this time actually prefer that our youngest most innocent children just huddle with fear in the corner of the classroom while the madman shoots them one by one.

If you ever suspected the anti-gun nuts were truly mentally ill, here it is ~ their reaction to the NRA proposal proves it.

We can no longer afford to treat them as if they are normal humans ~ they aren't! They are just like Holmes, Hassan, and all the other schizophrenics and crazoids who like to ambush unarmed people.

The medical examiner also says the children were killed by .223 rounds. And the number of rounds fired attest to this. And, sadly, common sense also points to using the AR-15. Lanza was crazy but he wasn't stupid. If you were a deranged madman set on killing as many people as possible, would you leave your most effective weapon behind in the trunk of your car?

As much as I wish he didn't use an "assault" rifle, fact is he did. Denying this and/or trying to make this into some kind of conspriracy doesn't change things. Lanza used an AR-15 because he had one and because he wanted to kill everybody.

That is not an AR-15. I reviewed that part several times and the picture is too blurry to narrow down what type of weapon that is. It doesn't look like a shotgun. I haven't seen anything that points to an AR-15 being found in the school. Only a mention of spent .223 rounds. My thought was some type of weapons that are easier to conceal on approach to the school.

I haven't seen anything that points to an AR-15 being found in the school.

Have you looked? It's all over the news. Lanza forced his way into the school with an AR-15, a Glock 10mm and a Sig Sauer 9mm. He killed the children with the AR-15 and shot himself with one of the handguns. The police have not released what handgun he used. The police found a shotgun in the trunk but have not released the details of make and model. In time, the police will release all the details of this crime.

I'm not making this stuff up.

Maybe something like this:

Lanza didn't use a Beretta .22LR. You seem to have issues accepting the truth?
